Introduction
DJ Southern Roofing is a specialist roofing company dedicated to delivering high-quality roofing solutions with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. With teams working on-site for extended periods, ensuring proper welfare facilities was essential. DJ Southern Roofing sought an environmentally friendly solution that would provide essential amenities while aligning with their sustainability goals.
The Requirement
Providing reliable on-site welfare facilities is crucial for maintaining workforce wellbeing and efficiency. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units incurred high running costs and contributed to carbon emissions, which conflicted with DJ Southern Roofing’s sustainability commitments. They required a modern, energy-efficient alternative that could provide sanitation, a canteen and sufficient facilities for their workforce while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
The Solution
To meet these needs, DJ Southern Roofing partnered with ecowelfare to introduce a 12ft fully solar-powered welfare unit on-site. The unit featured a canteen for meal preparation and breaks, along with twin toilets to ensure sanitation for their workforce. This solar-powered welfare solution provided a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative that met operational needs while significantly lowering emissions and operational expenses.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
- Over 118 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 374kg of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting DJ Southern Roofing’s sustainability goals.
- Improved workforce welfare – Providing comfortable, well-equipped spaces tailored to site requirements.
